Monochloramine reacts with hydrated electrons very rapidly, k(NH 2Cl+eaq-) = (2.2 ± 0.3) × 10 10 L mol-1 s-1, to produce .NH 2 radicals. It reacts with .OH radicals more slowly, k(NH2Cl+.OH) = (5.2 ± 0.6) × 108 L mol-1 s-1, to produce .NHCl radicals. While .NH2 exhibits an absorption peak at 530 nm, with a molar absorption coefficient ε530 = 80 L mol-1 cm -1, .NHCl exhibits two peaks at 330 and 580 nm, ε330 = (85 ± 30) L mol-1 cm-1 and ε580 = (56 ± 30) L mol-1 cm-1. The .NHCl radical undergoes self-decay and can react also with O 2 to form a peroxyl radical. It is suggested that the peroxyl radical exists in equilibrium NHClO2? NHCl + O2 with an estimated equilibrium constant of (3 ± 2) × 10 -3 mol L-1. The reaction of chloramine with the carbonate radical is suggested to form a complex [CO3NH2Cl] .- with kf = 2.5 × 105 L mol-1 s -1 and kr = 4 × 102 s-1, and this complex decomposes with k = 7 × 102 s-1 to form .NHCl.
